IF resource question (signature warning)

Good morning, ladies! I hope you're all doing well this Monday.  I wanted to buy a book for a friend struggling with IF, and I thought I'd ask here for recommendations!

I know there was one I really found helpful, but I got it from the library and now can't remember the name.  Dummy.

Any help is appreciated! :) Good luck to all of you!

    I like the "Conquering Infertility" & "Choosing Assisted Reproduction: Social, Emotional & Ethical Considerations" books ( although the latter is geared more towards IVF)

    I bought a book that I was even able to get my DH to read.  He found it very helpful.  I think it was the "Infertility Survival Handbook".  I will check it out when I get home to confirm.

    IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.

    IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132.  Lil is here!

    TTC#2:  Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.

    IVF #4:  BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN

    I really liked "A Few Good Eggs".  It's light hearted but still gives a lot of information and personal stories.  And if she's a christian or reads the bible you can get her "Hannah's Hope".  Nothing really informative in there but it's a comforting book on how to deal with your emotions and other people during IF.

    Hiii Jill!! :)

    I remember liking "A Few Good Eggs". It's been a while since I read it, so I don't remember if it was the most informative or not. But, it included humor and personal stories which made it a fun, quick read.

    Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
    If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
    it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
    After 2 years & 2 losses, our little man arrived 8-2011.

    Just do not get "Getting Pregnant: What You Need To Know Right Now" - among other things, it suggests that eating English peas are a no-no while trying to get pregnant. My RE laughed heartily when I told him that one. What can I say, I bought it way early on in this whole TTC process...

    You've done the impossible - given me a piece of TTC advice I haven't heard before!  Awesome! :)  I always plant English peas in my garden, too, so maybe that was what was messing us up!

    Thanks, ladies! :) I miss yoooooooou.  *hugs*
